What do Amazon.com customers think?

Very limited audience, but well worth it for them

Just copped this today..nice to have an "official" acappella album for blends and such. If you're not into mixing and blending, however, the only appeal of this album is hearing the power of the words, without any instrumentals.

As much as I like Jay-Z, I find it hard to listen to even two tracks on this album. He's a good rapper and all, but his voice can get kind of annoying after awhile. So, I tried listening to this album but got nothing but annoyance. I like the normal version because of the beats so I got that, but I downloaded the acapella to see how it sounded. It kinda sucked. I'm glad I downloaded it, because it wasn't worth my money. But seriously, if you're a DJ and want to use some of your own beats to back up his voice, go right ahead.
